Has anyone had any problems in receiving Italian TV Channels on Hotbird? We have a Humax Tivu Decoder with a fixed satellite dish. The only free to view Italian channels we are receiving at the moment are Rai. We have tried updating it but no luck. Thank you.

    Presumable you have your dish aligned correctly to 13.0°E

    Note the colour of unencrypted is light yellow, but remember that the beams may not cover the UK.

    Ours has been ok but we have noticed that some channels have moved. Such as Canale 5 is showing as Provvisorio so I had to rescan which brought up 4 versions of the channel which found one which was working. I think there is some issue with SD and HD??

    Also, I am sure you are aware but some of the the free Italian channels scramble if they are showing something important.
